Khalil Cavil was waiting tables on July 14 at Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa, when he discovered the patrons left a note on the receipt, according to a previous Reporter-Telegram article. According to Cavil's Facebook post his name "Khalil" was circled on the receipt with"We don't Tip Terrorist" written across the top.

The original post has since been deleted and his page is no longer active.

In response to the incident, Saltgrass Steak House COO Terry Turney released the following statement:

"After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story. The customer has been contacted and invited back to our restaurant to dine on us. Racism of any form is intolerable, and we will always act swiftly should it occur in any of our establishments. Falsely accusing someone of racism is equaling disturbing."
